Definetly see a doc. Just in case it's not plain ol' stress. Things to look for that your doc will want to know.
- Are your hands and feet unusually cold when this happens? Hold your hands against your face and into your armpits to see if they're very cold.
- Do you know how to take your blood pressure and heart rate? If so, take them _while_ you're having the "shivers". If you don't know how; find a nurse at a meeting that can teach you how.
- As Carol said, blood sugar problems can cause the shivers. Take a small pad of paper and note your _moods_ right before and after a meal. Do you get depressed before a meal and crave sugar or other sweet food? Do you feel much happier and energetic shortly after eating sugar or sweet food?
Yours truly has both hypoglycemia and bad circulation. Either one will give me a noticeable tremor from time to time. Add stress to that mix and there's times I can look like a blender
